**CS Sfaxien rocks up as proper favorites here** — they've hammered Ben Guerdane 19 times in 28 head-to-heads, and their recent form (3W-1D-1L) is crisp. Ben Guerdane, meanwhile, are all over the place: one win, two draws, two losses in their last five. 🔴

Ben Guerdane did bag a 2-1 road win at Olympique Béja recently and drew 3-3 with US Monastir, so they're not total pushovers. But Sfaxien's solidity at the back — just one loss in five — should be enough to grind this out on a Wednesday afternoon.

Key storylines:

- **CS Sfaxien** chasing three straight wins to start their campaign; Ben Guerdane desperately need a result to stop the wobbling
- **Goalkeeper battle**: L. Hammami for Ben Guerdane vs A. Dahmen for Sfaxien — clean sheets will be huge in this tactical matchup
- Sfaxien's midfield depth with **H. Ouédraogo** and **T. Mutyaba** should control tempo

Expected lineups:

- **US Ben Guerdane**: L. Hammami, D. Oboh, J. Abcha, S. Harrabi, W. Salhi, J. Bida, I. Mhirsi, A. B. Mcharek, B. Hakimi, A. Bouatay, Touray
- **CS Sfaxien**: A. Dahmen, A. Maâloul, H. Mathlouthi, K. Mondeko, M. S. Mhadhebi, H. Ouédraogo, T. Mutyaba, M. Trabelsi, E. A. Ogbole, I. Belwafi, G. Sghaier

Prediction:

**Sfaxien 2–0 Ben Guerdane.** Sfaxien have the edge in every department here. 🎯
